The Four Heatons

The Four Heatons pub on Didsbury Road in Heaton Norris was built in 1971 as the Moss Rose to replace an old pub of the same name further down towards Stockport town centre. It was built with separate cellars for mild and bitter. Twenty years ago it was thriving and shifting large quantities of Hydes Light and Bitter through electric meters. In the early 2000s, in an attempt to revitalise its fortunes, it was renamed the Four Heatons and given a surprisingly smart refurbishment, although the exterior still didn’t give a proper impression of what was inside. It closed in February 2011 and the site is earmarked for redevelopment as flats. Information source: The Pub Curmudgeon: http://pubcurmudgeon.blogspot.co.uk/2011/02/another-one-bites-dust.html
